The supply of Norwegian air defense systems NASAMS to Ukraine may increase soon, Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk has said.

"I visited an enterprise where, in particular, NASAMS air defense systems are produced. We have them in Ukraine and we need more. And we will have more! Soon! Very soon!
